Fin Whales as Far as We Could See



Wow! There were so many fin whales around today, I lost count. On the Atlantic Queen, I believe we saw at least 16 of them! It is so rare to be surrounded by whales, having blows everywhere we look. At one point, there were about 13 whales all within one miles of eachother. Fin whales are probably my favorite species to watch. Every time I see one I'm amazed at how huge they are, and how graceful.
As we left to head back to Rye, several whales came together. Below is a photo of our friends on the Granite State, surrounded by blows!
